Fuel Consumption

Hi guys,
I have had my polo for nearly 3/4 of a year now and it is averaging around 35/37 mpg. I am just wondering if this was normal for a 1.2 55bhp polo? It just seems a bit poor as I have never got more than 400 miles out of a tank

Same here be lucky to get 250
On a serious note though.. around town iw ouldnt expect much more of a 1.2, stop start traffic kills little engines as they need the revs to move... but on a run should be getting more than that.

Have been tracking the MPG for my 55 1.4 and it was always 37mpg,until I started driving like my grandad, ie. 65 on motorways and now I'm up to 47mpg

I got 63 mpg out of my GTi once. No joke. Motorway speeds but certainly wasn't hypermiling or taking extra care with the throttle.
For the first hundred miles, I thought the fuel gauge had broken to be honest. It barely moved off full.

No, I don't get anywhere close to that on a daily basis.

I had my gti custom mapped about 2 months ago. Got it rolling roaded at 215bhp and I get 37mpg.
Thought it was maybe my 4Bar FPR screwing up my mpg read outs but I've done the maths and it adds up.

Agreed lol. Damn their efficiency!
Still winning at petrol though
Ali123: what kind of miles do you do? Town driving mostly? I used to get around 30 at best on my 1.4 in town so sounds about right if that's what you're doing?

Hehe, damn them indeed!
I was actually considering a BlueMotion 2010 mod over my 2007 Gti.
Now I laugh HARD at that thought. I will rather sacrifice some petrol for my own joy.
